7 Months Young

This past weekend Aunt Amy came to visit. She loved playing, feeding, and holding Oliver, which he loved too! She also taught him how to shake his head "No", which is funny for now, since he doesn't really know what it means. Over the past few days Oliver has been working on his sitting, standing, and "walking" skills as well, all with much help! Today he rolled over from his back to his belly for the first time. I'm sad to say that the milk is running dry, though not out yet, so he had his first bottle of formula tonight and drank it as though there was no difference. We are fortunate to have a boy that will eat anything! The latest new foods are peaches and broccoli (not together!) and he loves them both. The funniest thing is that he loves playing in his crib- shaking Mr. Giraffe, squirming around, and squealing with delight- sometimes instead of napping. We can't believe 7 months have passed already!
Oliver helped me do his laundry earlier this week!

He thought it was super fun!

He worked on "walking" with Aunt Amy.

Oliver loves his Aunt Amy
More walking practice. 

This was taken right after he rolled over while he was playing with Daddy. 
Wilson wants in on the fun too!

What a little MAN! Congrats on the rolling over. Isn't it funny how excited we get over milestones like these? Do you make your own baby food (broccoli & peaches)?

Yes, I've made everything (except applesauce and cereal) so far. It's super fun! He eats broccoli, peaches, pears, green beans, peas, carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and butternut squash- all made by yours truly :)
